Team Falcons vs G2 Prediction 4 September 2026
🔊 Porto is set to host a quarter-final clash that promises to be one of the highlights of the tournament. Team Falcons and G2, two sides with a rich history on the biggest stages, are no strangers to each other-having met seven times before, with the Falcons narrowly leading the head-to-head 4-3. This time around, the Falcons enter as favourites, and rightfully so: they have taken the opening map in 10 of their last 11 matches and hold a psychological edge in these direct encounters.
Head-to-Head
📊 Throughout the history of this rivalry, Falcons hold a narrow edge with four wins to G2’s three. Interestingly, Falcons have consistently taken the second map in each of their last four head-to-head clashes. However, there’s a twist: Falcons have also dropped the second map in each of their last four matches overall, highlighting a recent vulnerability. This creates a paradox-Falcons dominate the second map against G2, yet struggle on it against other opponents. Additionally, the opening map in their last five meetings has seen the total rounds exceed 21.5, underscoring just how fiercely contested these matchups are right from the start.
Head-to-head statistics FLC - G2

Team Falcons Team Overview
The Falcons head into the quarterfinals following a mixed run of form-they fell to MOUZ (1-2) in their latest outing but previously edged out Legacy (2-1) and Lynn Vision (2-1) in hard-fought battles. The team are known for their explosive starts, having claimed the opening map in 10 of their last 11 matches, making them a genuine threat early in any series. However, their main weakness lies on the second map, where they have dropped four straight, giving opponents a way back into contests. Still, the individual brilliance of players like m0NESY, kyousuke, NiKo, and the leadership of veteran captain karrigan should help Falcons handle the pressure when it matters most.

G2 Team Overview
The “Samurai” head into this clash riding high after convincing wins over Aurora (2-1) and NAVI (2-0), signaling a surge in form. However, their defeat to Spirit (0-2) exposed some vulnerabilities when facing top-tier opposition, suggesting G2 might struggle against elite teams. A key strength for G2 lies in their performance on the second map: they have taken it in five of their last six matches, which runs counter to the Falcons’ recent trends. Additionally, G2 consistently cover map handicaps-posting a (+4.5) margin on the opening map across five head-to-head encounters and maintaining similar resilience on the second map overall. This reflects their ability to stay competitive in rounds, even when dropping maps. Still, in their recent meetings with Falcons, the “Samurai” have often come up short-a psychological hurdle that could weigh on them here.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Despite Falcons’ recent loss to MOUZ, we believe the squad holds the edge over G2, particularly given their commanding head-to-head record and consistent performance on opening maps. While G2 have found their rhythm lately, history shows they struggle to assert themselves against Falcons. Our main pick: Team Falcons to win the series.
